I agree, a reference to the book element should just give the book title.

Of course I spoke too soon. Although this solves the problem for building PDF, building Eclipse HTML from a set no longer works because by using xrefstyle select:docname, the xref is no longer being looked up from the olink target database and so uses the name of the set.

I think the fo stylesheet needs to be fixed so that, when referring to a book id, only the book part of the reference is generated.

Thanks, that works. If I want to have just the document title rather than “in doctitle”, do I modify <l:template name="docname" text=" in %o"/> or do I create a new l:template?

Hi Tim,

I'm not sure what you mean by "select: nnnn", because the 'select' style uses keywords. In the olink chapter, I mention that olinks add two more possible keywords: docname and docnamelong. So this should work:

<olink role="select: docname" ...

Subject: [docbook-apps] book title in olink xref

Hi,

Using olinking I’ve got <xsl:param name="olink.doctitle" select="yes"/> set because when I’m referring to chapters or sections I want the xref text to indicate the name of the book in which the chapter or section lives.

However, this means that when I olink to a book id it gives a reference of the form: Installation Guide in Installation Guide. My first thought is that I want to suppress the “in Installation Guide”, but if all book titles are being italicized then I guess it is the first bit that I want to suppress and just have in Installation Guide.

Seems to me that this behaviour should be the default. What is the easiest way to fix this?

I’m using Docbook 4.2, so I’ve set use.role.as.xrefstyle on and tried to use a “select: nnnn“ attribute to indicate precisely the cross-reference style I want. It didn’t work, so I thought I’d ask before delving any deeper.

Tim
